Genesis Generations, the Ten Commandments & the Eight Beatitudes

A typological study tool holding three related views. Use the tabs to switch between the eleven Genesis “these are the generations of” headings paired with the Ten Commandments; the eight Beatitudes paired with the major biblical covenants that Jesus himself foregrounds; and the tabernacle pattern, where the goat-hair curtains of the generations lie over the linen curtains of the commandments.

Rows: commandment 1 pairs with 6, 2 with 7, 3 with 8, 4 with 9, and 5 with 10. Genesis gives Esau two headings (generations 9 and 10), so they share row 4 and Jacob is generation 11. Commandments 1–5: Godward / heavenly-spiritual order. Commandments 6–10: neighborward / earthly-human order. Click any box: a popup explains that one commandment or generation on its own. Three buttons under each row: compare the two commandments (↔), the two stories (↔), and how the commandments relate to the generations (↔).

Working rule: the Genesis heading names the literary section, but the matching sin may be committed by people inside that section or may show its consequences in the named line. The strongest proposed anchors are Heavens/Earth with Adam, Eve, Cain, and Abel; Isaac with Jacob and Esau; and Jacob with Joseph and his brothers.
